Gabe Update:
After 1.5 good days, Gabe started throwing up at 12 AM. So far at 12 pm today he hasn't been
able to keep anything down which means we aren't able to keep the meds in him that have seemed to help at times.
We're just asking and pleading for prayer for him. Please pray for Jason and I too during this time that we are sleep deprived that we can stay focused on Jesus and stay patient and loving with each other.
Please pray for wisdom for our doctors. I spoke with Dr. Austman this morning and again and she is now going to try and rule out cystic fibrosis. Seems weird to us that this wouldn't have popped up earlier in his life, but we know that the list begins that they have to eliminate and check off all the possibilities. Starting this next week we will begin testing and going on to specialists she refers us to.
We are hoping and believing for the best. We are trying to keep our feet on the Solid Rock instead of slipping back into the pit. We keep telling each other God has purpose in this season and we're gonna keep trusting and being thankful for the good days and nights we get.
His symptoms are this:
Lotsa mucus/phlegm being thrown up
throwing up
cough at night time only
smelly, smelly, smelly gas
diarrhea only a little bit, no firm bowel movements
HUGE yellow blowout yesterday (potty training is never gonna happen, i'm convinced)
laying around and listless on the bad days....just wants to be held
never had temperature in the last 2 wks of this
If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, we welcome them.

This has been happening for how long? Two weeks? Have you cut the milk and juice from his diet for now? That will keep the poop from becoming solid. I will be praying for all of you.
Father, we thank you for the blessing Gabe is to Jason and Laura. We know that You have created him in Your image. We know that Your ways are higher than ours. And, we know that You know what is going on in his little body. So, Lord, we trust You for wisdom and guidance for the doctors, patience and peace for Mommy and Daddy, and healing--whether supernaturally or medically--in this time of uncertainty--for little Gabe.
We will be praying for precious Gabe...healing from the Great Physician and patience/love/strength for you and Jason. Christ will keep you strong through this...just keep yer eyes on Him! Love you guys...

Lane and Alyse had those same sort of symptoms awhile back. Nothing came of it, no fever, only vomitting at night. Then fine during the day. Loose stools and smelly. It lasted between the two of them about a month. Now they've been good for about a month and half. The doctors didn't know what it was either... I will be praying for your family... Amanda
hey laura, i'm so sorry to hear your little gabe is feeling so badly! it's so hard when you just can't do anything for them. it sounds a lot like the rotavirus to me. jordan threw up for about 2 weeks, mainly at night and ran a low grade fever and had some runs when she had it about a year an a half ago. it was like going thru hell, but it did end. i'll pray that he's just got a bad case of the rotavirus and it'll be clearing up on it's own very very soon. God be with you all! nikki from MOPS
